Starting an Organics Recycling Program with Randy’s Environmental Services allows your school or business to expand its recycling program to include food waste and food-soiled paper products. Businesses and schools can play an important role in easing the burden on the environment considering that half of the waste produced in Hennepin County comes from businesses, and about 25 percent of what we throw away is food and food-soiled paper. In an Organics Recycling program, all food scraps and paper food service items are placed in a single container provided by Randy’s Environmental Services. After we empty your container, the waste is delivered to a composting facility where it is recycled into valuable compost.

Finished compost is an organic-rich soil amendment that is used to improve soil structure and water-holding capacity of soils and minimize leaching of nutrients. Compost prevents soil erosion and polluted stormwater runoff from contaminating our wetlands, lakes, and streams. Compost can also be used to reclaim marginal soils. Compost is used in gardens, golf courses, playing fields, road construction projects, and landscaping.
